Sorry, I didn't have time to take a photo of this one. So this is not the actual recipe picture. Photo courtesy of http://www.healthline.com
So I intended to make a different kale smoothie recipe but when I went to make it I could NOT find it on my pinterest boards. (Does that mean I have too many?!) Anyhow I googled the smoothie and decided to make this one, with a minor change (I added yogurt).
The kale has quite a veggie scent to it so I thought the girls would both turn their noses up at this. I put it in big plastic cups and gave them a straw to hopefully help them not to notice the kale in it (how could they not, it was green). Chloe asked if it was a super hero smoothie, I just smiled and said, "Sure."
They both gobbled this up. In fact, I had to tell them to stop drinking their smoothie and eat their dinner. I am making this again tomorrow for them to eat with their dinner. I'm going to try using this with different fruits too. Anything to get spinach or kale into their diets!
1/2 cup frozen blueberries (I omitted)1/2 cup frozen strawberries (I used 1 c)
1 tablespoon ground flax seed (I used chia seeds)
2 cups torn raw kale
1 cup cold water (I used 1/2 c)
1/2 c plain yogurt
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend for about 3 minutes, or until smooth.
